Case: Nicktropolis

Hot on the heals of CBBC, Nickelodeon are launching Nicktropolis, an interactive virtual world divided up into different zones that kids can do different activities in.

Although the article is very muh the same as the CBBC article I found before, it might be interesting to consider creating a virtual world for educational purposes, or even building an add-on to these already operational worlds (this would allow us to tap into the market created by these two companies).

We could create this world to have different zones for different educational purposes, making it very interactive and fun and using the so-called "Learning in Stealth" technique. We should discuss this at the next meeting as it would be preferable to a handheld device doing the same sort of thing.
